  1. Nice. Post #1, third pic'. Pretty cool that you're building a full scale sized version of what you built your kid. Wish I had caught that on Father's Day. I'd say number #1 dad material. Dig your work so far. Gonna' be great.
     
  2. Nice work so far, look forward to seeing more.

    Thanks, The small Roadster fits in the trunk of the shoebox, then it´s easier to bring the kids to car events:cool:
    Here we are camping at OSW.

    I use to drive my bosses 35 ford cabriolet to go pick up parts for BIG JOE'S FORD OBSOLETE in the 60's. The store was located in Burbank CA. I found a 36 chopped 3 window just blocks from the shop and towed it home with the 35. What a site that was. My dad sold the car when I was in the service CHEAP!!! BUMMER. Keep up the good work car looks great.

    The C notch is about 1/3 of the frame height, and reinforced at the backside
    there will be a bump stop inside the notch
    And i guess i will need the notch:)

    This will take time, for the moment the work is concentrated to the wood in the cowl & A-pillars.
    Need to get the doors to fit good before i can continue to the wood in B-pillars. and door-wood. oh....
    pics will come later.

    Here is a early mockup.
